When Corrie Ten Boom was young she learned something that she never forgot. Her heart was heavy with difficult questions and so she asked her father for answers. In response, he asked her to carry his suitcase for him. The bag was too heavy. Corrie could not even lift it. “It is the same with knowledge,” he told her, “For now, you must trust me to carry it for you.” This lesson she carried with her into adulthood. Any atrocity she could not understand at the concentration camp, she entrusted to her loving Father to carry. —Shane Johnson

When your soul is almost sinking in despair,Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal—Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there. —C. Tindley
